Mental Hell

Thunder and fire intertwined in the clouds, weaving in the void to form a gigantic head. The ten layers of suspended ruins were the core area of the head.

"This mythical civilization must have been incredibly powerful back then!" Wang Xuan exclaimed in surprise. So many eras have passed, yet they still managed to leave behind their forbidden land.

At this moment, the entire City of Lightning was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression. This magnificent ruin had become extraordinary, as if a giant living being was reviving.

Boom!

Many bolts of lightning struck, spreading and intertwining in the endless void, activating the entire ancient land.

When!

The Soul Locking Bell vibrated, Chen Yongjie felt dizzy and was struck by a bolt of lightning. Fortunately, the bell had amazing defensive capabilities and did not conduct electricity. Instead, it dispersed the lightning.

Crackling sounds also emanated from Wang Xuan's body, with blinding arcs of electricity spreading across the Silver Animal Hide, making his expression solemn.

Without this extraordinary treasure, the two of them might have been "finished." The thunder and fire were too domineering, even piercing through the ruins on the ground!

Meanwhile, beneath the ruins, countless pale, bloodless hands emerged from the soil, crawling outwards.

"A corpse in the Mental World?!"

The two were stunned for a moment, and then they began to act quickly. A barrage of attacks ensued, the silver bell waves expanded, the golden flags trembled, and many pale hands in the area exploded.

However, this had little effect. The entire City of Lightning was filled with howls and wailing as countless monsters rapidly emerged from the soil and earth.

In an instant, the entire city erupted in chaos, with all sorts of monsters appearing, many of which were races never seen or even heard of before.

"Charge out!" someone shouted from afar. Clearly, there were more than just the two of them; other extraordinary individuals had also entered, but most of them were at the Carefree Journey Realm, while the two of them were still at the Human World Realm.

From afar, the lightning in the clouds, the ten-story ruins suspended in the air, and the ruins on the ground truly form a magnificent head, with intertwined lightning and firelight shining in the eye sockets, as if it is slowly opening its eyes.

This also caused the ruins to resemble a gateway to hell, releasing all sorts of Demonic Creatures and Monsters that roared and howled, sending chills down one's spine.

"Ah..." Someone screamed in the distance. A woman who had brought in a strange treasure was surrounded by dozens of creatures that looked like Western dragons and were being torn apart.

"Fairy Cai Ling!" someone cried out in sorrow. She was a very famous fairy in the immortal realm, on par with Gu Mingxi, Zhou Qinghuang and others. Behind the Great Curtain, she had surpassed the Earth Immortal realm, but her ending was so tragic.

Her primordial spirit was torn into dozens of pieces, and those giant dragons, like corpse demons, devoured her, swallowing her whole. A fairy maiden died tragically!

"Kill!" someone roared, crying out in anguish, whether it was to avenge Fairy Cai Ling or to break through the encirclement, leading a group of people to fight their way forward.

Boom!

Beneath the ruins, a dozen faceless figures leaped out of the abyss. They all had broad, scaly wings and streaked across the sky at incredible speed. Their physiques were so powerful that they were like flying celestial blades. Whenever they encountered an outsider primordial spirit, they would cleave it with their scaly wings and kill it!

"Join forces and form a formation!" someone shouted. It was Qi Liandao, beckoning the demon cultivators to move closer to him.

Puff!

In another location, Mo Si held a blue Demon Blade with astonishing destructive power, slicing dozens of giant spiders the size of houses with a single strike. Although these demonic spiders were as hard as iron, and sparks flew when they were hit, they were still dismembered, leaving corpses scattered all over the ground.

Old Chen was also getting anxious. He had just been grabbed by a monster with a tiger's head and a bird's beak. Its sharp claws pierced his shoulder blades and tore his back, causing his primordial spirit to leak out, which was equivalent to the Primordial Spirit Blood.

"Whoosh..." The Snow White Conch blew, and the strange bird's body that was grabbing him exploded.

On the other side, Wang Xuan was also covered in "rotten flesh." He was attacked by dozens of birds of prey, each with hundreds of eyes, covering his entire head in a dense, swarming manner that could trigger trypophobia in some people.

All eyes were shooting out beams of spiritual light, as if scanning the area. Dozens of them swooped down together, attacking simultaneously, their gazes overwhelming and piercing down like sharp swords.

His palms and his neck had been pierced, which shows how powerful the gazes of these strange birds were—enough to kill a primordial spirit in the early stages of the Carefree Journey!

The God Slaying Banner trembled, and with a loud boom, it annihilated a small flock of strange birds, but it also attracted more monsters. More than twenty pale-skinned giants, each a hundred meters tall, stomped down, causing the ruins to collapse!

"What kind of hellish place is this? Is this still the Mental World? I feel like we've stormed into hell!" Old Chen exclaimed.

"Don't scatter, move closer to me!" Wang Xuan shouted. If they were really scattered, it would be difficult to regroup here. The city was full of corpses and ghosts, and lightning was flashing across the void everywhere.

"Maybe it really is hell. Originally, after people died, their spirits and souls went to hell, and this place was originally Mental World, a similar product!" Chen Yongjie was dumbfounded, feeling it was too absurd. In broad daylight, he was seeing hell?

When!

He rang the bell, and silver ripples expanded. With a loud boom, they shattered a large area of Death Qi, mammoth-like monsters. Rotten flesh flew everywhere, and huge chunks of meat fell, almost covering him.

Wang Xuan waved the God Slaying Banner. At this moment, there was nothing left to hold back. He shattered the giants, and the putrid blood and broken bones scattered everywhere, creating a scene like a living hell, a slaughterhouse.

It is clearly a monster of the spiritual realm, but what I see now is no different from a real, bloody world.

"Are you alright?" Mo Si rushed over, showing great concern for Wang Xuan, and in the process, he directly pushed Chen Yongjie aside.

Old Chen was furious. How could people be treated so differently? If it weren't for the fact that he had bravely charged over and was very worried about Wang Xuan, Chen Yongjie would have turned on him immediately.

"It's alright, just be careful. Don't worry about me. Everyone break through and fight their way out!" Wang Xuan said. Although he had misled him, he was too embarrassed to let him risk his life to clear a path, so he sent him away.

In the eighth layer of the ruins, the six peerless masters, who were originally among the top in their respective fields, are now all injured and have lost their primordial blood.

They rose and walked forward. Behind the stone gate, a hazy land grew increasingly real, with near-real Super Material surging forth from the opened portal.

"Chaos has broken out outside! Our disciples and followers have also entered and are being slaughtered by the spiritual corpses of this mythical civilization!"

"Never mind that, it'll be too late if we wait until we get out. Now, let's continue exploring the core area of the ruins!"

This is an ancient medicinal garden, a once mythical place where celestial herbs were planted, and not just one, but now they have all withered and died. As you can see now, not a single herb remains.

However, these peerless masters did not come to dig for medicinal herbs. At their level, they had all obtained heavenly herbs before, and adding one more would not have a significant effect.

This is the Sole Dao to the ninth level. If this place is not revealed, the ninth level will also be a desolate wasteland, and real scenery will not be born from nothingness.

According to their understanding, this mythical civilization was particularly skilled at crafting magical artifacts, and some legends they left behind all indicated that their civilization was ridiculously powerful.

However, to this day, people have not seen the birth of this civilization's treasure!

Therefore, the unparalleled masters in the grand scheme have reason to suspect that their most precious treasures may still be sealed in this forbidden area.

Boom!

As the six unparalleled masters ventured deep into the ancient medicine garden, seeking to enter a higher level of the ruins, the ancient medicine garden revived, unleashing an endless surge of Super Material.

The ground cracked, and four divine Divine Statue rose from below. They were all faceless, neither male nor female, and very neutral, flowing with astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations.

"Some Divine Statue were left behind, but are they of any use?" The man in black robes made his move, slashing forward with a blade of light.

In response, a Divine Statue grew rapidly, and a giant foot, thirty meters long, stomped down on him at incredible speed, distorting space and time, stomping him into the earth.

Boom!

The man in black robes was enraged. Who was he? The number one expert in a certain grand scheme of things. How could he be trampled into the ground by a mere inanimate object? It was outrageous! It was just a relic left behind by the Vanished civilization, yet it dared to insult him.

He was surrounded by light, his primordial spirit power was boiling. After he rushed out, he enlarged his hands and quickly pressed them down on the stone statue, turning them into dazzling scissors. With a snap, he cut the stone statue in half!

However, after the stone statue broke, its spiritual power surged and it reformed once again.

"Everyone, don't wait any longer. Destroy these Spirit Statue. There's no time to waste. If There Are Supreme Treasures among them, it might fly away once it revives and accumulates enough power!"

"The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor," said the figure within the crimson halo, and then charged forward to kill.

The Female Daoist practitioner in flawless white robes, the tall man bathed in golden light, the mysterious figure wearing Silver Mask, and the demon lord in red robes—the four of them also made their move, their primordial spirits radiant, revealing their unparalleled sharpness.

A great battle erupted here, and in the end, all four Spirit Statue were shattered. This was like a spiritual symbol left behind by the ancient ancestor of a mythical civilization. Even after so many years, it was still so terrifying, which shows how powerful they were back then.

"Search around here; perhaps there are still some celestial herbs lying dormant, having survived the long, dark night when the extraordinary fire was extinguished," someone said, releasing several primordial spirits from their sleeves.

Someone brought his men in; it was a trivial matter, not worth his personal attention.

In fact, not only him, but the others followed suit and released some of their primordial spirits, all of whom were their respective disciples and followers.

Even the Red-Clothed Demon Lord released several female Demon Immortals to seek their own opportunities.

Then, these powerful primordial spirits moved, digging three feet into the ground, inspecting all the ancient buildings, not even letting go of the withered bonsai, in search of celestial medicine.

Boom!

The six masters represent the highest combat power in the six great curtains. Now, when they join forces, their strength is heaven-defying. They blast open the bronze door leading to the ninth floor.

Although they coughed up their own Primordial Spirit Blood, they did succeed and rushed in immediately, sensing that they were close to the treasure!

"Ah, there really is a heavenly medicine! It was shaken out by the commotion just now!"

In the ancient medicine garden on the eighth floor, someone exclaimed in surprise. In fact, everyone saw it: the medicine garden was cracking, and celestial light shot into the sky from the depths of the ground. The fragrance of herbs filled the air, and the heavenly herbs flew up on their own, trying to escape!

"Block the exit!"

"Haha, who would have thought that we would also have a chance to obtain the Heavenly Medicine!"

A group of powerful individuals were excited. Such supreme Divine Object objects had always belonged only to peerless experts, and were occasionally bestowed upon their most beloved descendants or successors.

These people were all very powerful; some were Ancient Giant Demon, and some were Ancient True Immortal. However, none of them had ever had the opportunity to get close to the Heavenly Medicine.

Amidst the ruins on the ground, Chen Yongjie cursed, wanting to swear. Just now, after the bronze door at the entrance to the ninth level of the ruins was opened, the huge head shook again, and the lightning and fire became even more dazzling, with electric sparks intertwining. As for the city, it was overflowing with Demonic Creatures and Monsters.

Now, it's not just a matter of people crowding each other or people crowding monsters anymore; it's impossible to move. The ghouls are rampant, filling the ruins, and it's almost impossible to move.

At this moment, no one dared to stay on the ground; they all flew into the sky, facing the thunder, and entered the lightning-filled space.

Wang Xuan and Old Chen naturally fled as well, soaring through the air and using the God Slaying Banner and Soul Locking Bell to fight against the lightning, until they reached the outside of the eighth level of the ruins.

In fact, quite a few extraordinary individuals directly rushed into the ruins from the entrance of the first level.

They dared not try, fearing they would be targeted by unparalleled masters, and they estimated that more than one or two people would try to harm them.

"The Heavenly Medicine, haha, it belongs to us!" In the eighth level of the ruins, some people were laughing and fighting, each displaying their methods in an attempt to capture the magnificent Heavenly Medicine.

They were separated from Wang Xuan and his group by a hazy barrier of light. They could see each other, but could not get close. This was a protective barrier formed by the flames of a mythical civilization.

"Wang Xuan, hey, just watch from outside. Get ready to be hunted down by the spiritual corpses while we're capturing the Heavenly Medicine, hehe..." Someone laughed heartily, mocking the two outside.

"You'd better run for your lives, or you'll be devoured by the ghouls and your soul will be forever destroyed!" someone teased, advising them to hurry up and escape.

Enraged, Chen Yongjie pounded the hazy barrier with a large bell, making a loud clanging sound, but he couldn't open it at all.

In an instant, as if remembering something, he looked at Wang Xuan, then calmed down, pretending to continue attacking the barrier, but deep in his eyes was a dazzling divine light, full of anticipation.

Wang Xuan turned around and continued to fight back against the pursuing corpse demons. At the same time, he calmly took out the fishing line he had obtained from the Moon of the Departed Land and the fishing hook he had obtained from the Old Zhong family, preparing to fish for the Heavenly Medicine and intercept it halfway!
